The Ogun State Community, Social Orientation and Safety Corps, So-Safe Corps, has arrested two suspects for breaking into five different shops to steal boxers, singlets, shirts, and other items in the Idiroko area of the state.

The suspects, Daniel Enitan, 24, and Adetona Sodeeq, 23, were apprehended by officers during a routine patrol in the Aferiku area of the community.

The arrest was disclosed in a press statement issued by the commander of the corps, Soji Ganzallo, through the Office of the Public Relations Officer, Moruf Yusuf, and made available to DAILY POST on Saturday.

According to the statement, the suspects, upon sighting the patrol team, attempted to flee but were nonetheless apprehended.

The statement reads, “Commander Ganzallo, officers and men of the agency at Idiroko Area Command, in conjunction with the Idiroko Division, while on routine patrol on May 7, 2025, at about 2 am, noticed suspicious movements by individuals in the Aferiku area of the community.

“The commander stated that suspicion arose due to the behaviour of the suspects—Daniel Olaitan Enitan and Adetona Sodeeq—who were carrying school bags believed to contain stolen items.

“Due to this suspicion, the patrol team accosted the suspects. Upon sighting the team, they attempted to flee. Ganzallo made it known that, after subsequent interrogation, the suspects confessed to breaking into five different shops previously before the one beside Ikolaje Primary School, along Border Road, Idiroko.”

According to the commander, during interrogation and a search at the scene, it was discovered that their bags were filled with clothes, shoes, and various other items.

Other items recovered include one power bank, one hammer, one singlet, two large school bags, two crossbody bags, one “3-in-1” boxer pack, six pairs of boxers, six polo shirts, four pairs of jeans trousers, three pairs of crocs, and eight pairs of palm sandals.

Commander Ganzallo revealed that the suspects and the recovered exhibits have been handed over to the Nigeria Police Force, Idiroko Divisional Headquarters, for further investigation and likely prosecution.
